Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes

6th Arr., Paris

🎨"Better dome frescoe than the duomo of Florence" (visitor)
💀"great relics of the French Revolution, including bones a la the Catacombs"
🎹The 1902 Dider organ has 25 stops

Step inside a 400-year-old Franco-Italian church where a Bernini Virgin gazes down from one of Paris's oldest domes, painted with dizzying trompe-l'œil. The real shock is below: a crypt stacked with the bones of 114 priests massacred during the Revolution.
